Connor is going to the movie theater. A ticket to a movie cost t dollars and there is a 15% amusement tax on each ticket choose a value for t greater than $12 and less than $13. Use one of the expressions I will give you and round to the nearest penny show your work. expression one T +0.15

Question

expression two 10×1.15.

Answer 1

To find a suitable value for t, we can use expression two:

10 × 1.15 = 11.50

So, a possible value for t is $11.50. However, the question states that t should be greater than $12, so this value does not satisfy the condition.

Let's try using expression one:

T + 0.15

If we set T = $12, then the equation becomes:

$12 + 0.15 = $12.15

This value satisfies the condition since it is greater than $12 and less than $13.

Therefore, a possible value for t would be $12.15.

Answer 2

Suppose the Connors total cost to see the movie is greater than $17.50 and less than $20 what could be a value of t to make that possible?

Answer 3

Let's use expression one, T + 0.15, to find a suitable value for t:

If we set t = $17.50, then the equation becomes:

$17.50 + 0.15 = $17.65

If we set t = $20, then the equation becomes:

$20 + 0.15 = $20.15

Since we are looking for a value of t that is greater than $17.50 and less than $20, a possible value could be $17.65.
